PEUGEOT SERVICING Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) or every two years.
¥ For dual-fuel Petrol or LPG*/UNG** engines: every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) or every two years. W arning, LPG/UNG checks every 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or every year.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or every two years.
The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must bechecked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. This is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate service between regular services.
The date of this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carriedout at least every 10,000 miles (15,000 km) for petrol engines and dual-fuelpetrol or LPG/UNG engines; every 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for direct injectiondiesel engines. A Peugeot dealer will carry out a quick check and top up the levels if
necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash up to 2 litres).If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine : check the engine oil level at least every 2,000 to 3,000 miles (3 000 to 5 000 km),depending on the conditions of use. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE
SUITABLE AND RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. * Liquid Petroleum Gas. ** Urban Natural Gas.

Operation For a few seconds after the ignition has been switched on, the spannersymbolising a service lights up; thedisplay for the total distance recordertells you the distance remaining befo-re your next service.The values displayed by the serviceindicator before the next service arethe following: 20 000 km, 2 000 km,200 km, 100 km and 50 km. Example:2 000 km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition is switched on and for a fewseconds, the display shows:

Low coolant level warning light Illumination of this warning light indicates that the coolant level is too
low.
Stop immediately.
W arning: allow the engine to cool before topping up.
The cooling circuit is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressu-
re to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 29
Engine oil pressure warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Illumination of this warning light while the engine is running indicates
that the oil pressure or level is too low.
Stop immediately. If there is a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit, top it up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS A permanently lit warning light or one that flashes while the engine is
running indicates an operating fault. The illumination of certain warning lights may be accompanied by a bleep and a message on the multi-

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
134
CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level ☞Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per600 miles (1000 km). Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the oillevel gauge on the instrumentpanel or the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks onthe dipstick: A= maximum
Never fill past this mark.B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
V iscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Brake fluid level: - The level must always be between the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change: - must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche-dule.
- use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contactwith the skin. Cooling system Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan canoperate with the ignition key remo-ved and because the cooling systemis pressurised, wait for at least onehour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work. Slacken the cap to the first notch torelease the pressure to prevent anyrisk of scalding. When the pressurehas dropped, remove the cap andtop up the level. Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed. Used oil Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant into drains or into theground. Power steering reservoir ☞ Open the reservoir, with the engine at ambient temperature.The level should always beabove the MIN. mark and closeto the MAX. mark.
